BATTLING IN S0u0AN.

Rome, Feb. 13.-The Italian
Commander at Massowah has re-
ported as follows: Boretti, COM
manding at Saati, January 25th, at
II A. NJ, saw the heights occupied
by thousand Abyssians, who dis
appeared on the firing of some
shells. Boretti sent out party
under Lieut.. Como, who surprised
and engaged the enemy. The latter
advanced intrepidly on all sides to
within 800 yards of the Italian po-
sitions. There was desperate fight
ing until 5 O'Clock, when the enemy
retreated. Boretti applied for re-
endorsements, and the General sent
column under Col. Decristoforis.
The column was delayed by diff
Guilty in transportation, and Decris-
toforis asked for more men and
guns. While re-enforcements were
on the way it was learned that De-
cristoforis' column had been mas
sacred after forming square and
defending themselves to the last
mana nd cartridge. The relief party
found the bodies lying in the order
in which the men fought and the
enemy retiring. Many of the
corpses were mutilated.

the TRUTH HARD TO Get At,

The truth is sometimes hard to
get at. One man makes an appa-
rently credible statement, backed
up with concurrent testimony OF the
same character. There seems to
be no reason for doubling the au-
thenticity and accuracy of the in
formation received. The next per-
son, gives another version, sup
ported by as good testimony as the
first, and contradictory to it. A
third perhaps differs widely from
both the others. II is extremely
difficult under such circumstances
to ascertain what is the truth--a
difficulty which newspaper men fire.
quently experience. Sometimes it
happens that incorrect information
is given unintentionally, the infor-
mant believing his own story, and
sometimes the true version is op-
posed by false one in the same
way. But il also sometimes hap
pens that false tale is told inten-
tionally, for the purpose of mis-
leading, the author having motive
for wishing to mislead. One would
suppose that in a small community
like that of Honolulu, the truth
could be easily sifted out in all
matters of the nature referred to {;
but it is not so. 1t is just as hard
in some cases as extracting lime
juice from stone. This can
scarcely be taken as fattering re-
Election ON the community. Every
human being is liable to err, and
may unwittingly miss the truth in a
statement which he makes in good
faith; but no man, who is worthy
of being called man, will know
ingly and purposely falsify. When
a mans word cannot be relied upon,
it is bad for the man.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-03-16

it would appear that it is supposed
to be in q fit condition for public
traffic. Tastes differ, and some
people would prefer ploughing
through mud to driving over bowld-
ers. Although it appears in this
particular case that the public taste
runs pretty much in one line, not
over the rocks, but on one side, and
portion of the newly repaired road
is universally Stunned by people
on foot, in carriages, and on horse
back. Dare we hope that this i'm
portant department of government
will ever be directed by little
common sense?

my AUNT"
THE NATIONAL PAwN-sHoP OF FRANCE
ITS METHODS AND ADVANTAGES.

In the center of a busy CONNER
cial quarter in Paris-in the Rue
dies Blancs Manteaux-is a large g.
story building, with it's windows Sc
curely barred and wired, as if some
ting precious was contained within,
with the ever prominent words,
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"
carved on its walls, and under the
doorway of which, just under the
tricolor, may be read in large, gold
lettering, "Monte de Piete." Sew
eral republican guards walk about
the large courts within, and there
are other signs of officialism that the
building in question is national pro-
perty. 1t is, indeed, the head
quarters of the national pawn-shop.
With us, when an unexpected crisis
in ones financial affairs leads him
temporarily to get rid of some of his
personal property, he euphonisti-
cally tells his friends that he has
been to his "uncle's." A French
man in similar straits visits his
"aunt," whose real name through
out France is the Monte de Piete.
There are no odious associations
about this national institution such
as have become connected with some
establishments conducted by some
pious Israelltes. A Frenchman will
not stink away sneakingly to his
"aunt," but when necessity re-
quires it, will visit her fearlessly
and openly as he would the Escomte
de Paris or the Credit Lyonnais.
The Mont de Piete is indeed a bank,
without capital and without divi-
dend.
From the budget of the Paris in
stitution for 1877, which the Direc-
tor, M. Edmond Duval, has just
placed in the hands of the Munich
pal Council, an idea may be obtain
ed OF the amount of business done
at this bank of piety. The estimat-
ed income is put at 98,319, ,620
francs--about f3,732 ,S84-and as
the accounts are supposed to olittle
more than balance, the expenditure
is placed at several thousand pounds
less. A decrease in the business
done during the year is attributed
to the fact that many people of all
professions have been compelled to
leave the city, owing to the depres-
sion of trade. Connected with the
principal Mont de Piete there are
twenty auxiliary bureaus throughout
the town, and il is perhaps about the
only institution in Paris which is
open all the year round, fete days
included. The Director OF the con-
Germ is appointed by the Minister Of
the Interior, and the administration
of the concern is under the Prefect
of the Seine. Eight per cent is
charged as interest on the articles
pledged. This charge is unquestion-
ably high, but the expenses it has
to meet are considerable. In irreg-
ular pawn-shops the percentage
charged sometimes reaches so per
